Mysterious, serious, and inflexible! It was as if they would not even blink if their loved ones fell in front of them. After many pupils entered the Heavenly Gates, other than being able to see the Machinery race or the Insect race in class, these two races were almost completely invisible at other times. They would basically not participate in any group activities in the Heavenly Gates. To them, studying laws seemed to be the whole meaning of their existence. But now, 14 of them had appeared at once?
Wanwan Min and the others found a place to casually stand. Needless to say, the Machinery race and the insect race had an aura that froze the entire place. They stood there like frosty statues, causing the buzzing sounds in the surroundings to instantly become much quieter. The temperature plummeted.
Furthermore, at this moment.
Boom!
A blood-red light descended from the sky and smashed into the white crystal-like arena of the Life and Death Arena. It was a round crystal-like ground that was laid on the ground. It formed a stark contrast with the ordinary yellow soil around it. The power of the light beam that smashed down was extremely great. Although the white crystal-like arena was extremely hard, it was still shaken by the violent tremor when it landed on the ground, causing the entire ground to buzz and tremble incessantly. A cloud of dust rose in the surroundings.
The blood figure straightened his body from the dust.
"It's Balor."
"So what if he flew over? Why did he have to act cool and make such an exaggerated entrance? There's dust everywhere!" Someone complained unhappily.
"Heh heh. Could it be that this little fellow treats that Foundational Stage novice as a mortal enemy? How embarrassing. "
When he heard the voices around him, Balor's face turned slightly red. He had calculated the time to come over. He had wanted to gain the upper hand with a show of strength and give Wang Zhong a show of strength. This could not be considered a battle tactic that he had purposely set up. He was just a Foundational Stage, and he was not strong enough. However, he had suppressed Wang Zhong with his aura first. This would definitely make it easier for him to win in the Life and Death Arena. Today, his goal was not to win. Instead, he wanted to kill and crush Wang Zhong to his heart's content.
However, he did not expect that Wang Zhong would be even more arrogant than him when he had rushed over. The time was almost up, but he had not appeared yet! His charming eyes had been thrown at a blind man.
Balor was also depressed. He had been too honest. He should have been one or two hours late and let that little fellow wait as long as he wanted. Why had he come so early? Standing here and waiting for a Foundational Stage cultivator from a level-4 civilization was like a fool.
"That kid from Earth is really arrogant. He's still not coming out at this time?"
"It's already noon."
"Could it be that he's running away out of fear?"
"Look, that Earthling is here."
It was as if he had calculated the time when Balor would appear. He had just arrived when Balor appeared in his line of sight.
Everyone looked towards Lao Wang and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking over from the distance. Their speed was not considered slow, but it was definitely not fast either. It was as if they were taking a normal stroll. This relaxed attitude made many people's eyes light up. "Putting aside their strength, this Earthling's mentality is not bad."
Hundreds of gazes focused on him, but Lao Wang remained calm. However, Jhonas, who had come with him, was obviously unable to take it. The Illusion race, which had always pursued a low-profile policy, simply felt pressured when so many people stared at them. He hurriedly found an excuse to slip away. "Boss, I'll find a good spot at the side and take the most handsome photo for you …"
Wang Zhong did not care about him, nor did he care about the surrounding gazes. His gaze was level with Balor, who was in the Life and Death Arena.
Balor snorted coldly. Wang Zhong's calmness made him feel rather displeased. However, before he could berate Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong had already pushed off with the tips of his feet and lightly jumped onto the arena without any fancy moves.
The arena beneath his feet was paved with crystals. This was Lao Wang's first time here. At that moment, when he stepped on it, he felt that the white crystals were abnormally hard. Furthermore, waves of spiritual aura circulated within them. They did not seem like ordinary items.
It was said that once the Life and Death Arena was activated, a barrier would automatically be set up to prevent entry and exit. No one would be able to save you, unless the victor was willing to let the loser go. If not, the loser would not even have the slightest chance to escape. If you could not win in other battles, you could still have a chance to escape, but in the Life and Death Arena? This was impossible. This was also the cruelest part of the Life and Death Arena.
At that moment, both of them stood on the arena, and the surroundings instantly quietened down. No matter what, when two parties were about to fight to the death, the surrounding people maintained silence before the fight began. Leaving the scene to the two of them was the most basic etiquette.
The Life and Death Arena would decide life and death. As long as both parties stood on the arena, there was nothing much to say.
Neither of them spoke. Balor was naturally disdainful of exchanging pleasantries with this Foundational Stage, while Wang Zhong did not have the habit of speaking nonsense. Their gazes alternated. The Titan supervisor beside the arena waved his large hand, and the Life and Death Arena was activated. A transparent energy barrier enveloped the entire arena.
Furthermore, the moment the energy barrier appeared, a violent wave of spiritual power exploded and continuously surged out from Balor's body. The spiritual power was blood-red in color and burned on his body like flames. His violent aura spread and formed a massive humanoid shadow. There were two horns on his head and he was three to four meters tall. His Spiritual Energy Value increased rapidly.
Demonic Heaven Transformation Blood Technique!
If he had to reveal his true form when dealing with a Foundational Stage, it would be too embarrassing. However, Balor was rather clear about Wang Zhong's abilities. It was impossible for him to underestimate his opponent. He had to defeat his opponent in one strike!
Balor's eyes flashed with intense self-confidence. He had the capital to be confident. Even though Wang Zhong had unleashed his spiritual power at the first instant, this bit of spiritual power was simply …
Weak! Too weak!
Firstly, spiritual power did not have any special characteristics. It was formless and colorless. Although it could be seen externally, it looked like a faint, cool breeze surrounding it. There was no aura to speak of. Secondly, his Spiritual Energy Value was only around 150,000. Speaking of which, this was the theoretical absolute peak value for most Foundational Stages. It was even comparable to some weaker Void Cores. But so what? Balor was not an ordinary Void Core!
Just the circulation of spiritual power was enough to instantly determine who was stronger.
"The difference is too great. Balor's Spiritual Energy Value is around 350,000, while Wang Zhong's Spiritual Energy Value is at most 150,000."
"The difference in Spiritual Energy Value is more than double. This has already surpassed the scope of techniques and tactics. It is an absolute suppression!"
"Your new friend is probably going to be killed in seconds." Harley shook his head. His impression of Wang Zhong was not bad. Previously, he had actively rejected Celeste's invitation to join the Pill One Association. He was a young man who knew his limits. "Heh heh. It will be a pity if he dies. Do you want me to help him?"
"Interfering in the Life and Death Arena is not a wise choice, Senior Harley." Celeste smiled and said, "Furthermore, I don't think that Wang Zhong will definitely lose."
"Oh?" Harley was dumbfounded. He actually understood the reason why Celeste had befriended Wang Zhong. A few days ago, when news spread that Wang Zhong had an elemental spirit messenger, Harley understood. Just now, when he said that he would help, he might not have felt that it would be a pity if Wang Zhong died. In reality, he was very interested in how Wang Zhong had attracted the attention of the elemental spirit. If the Titans obtained a wood elemental spirit, their power would become extremely terrifying.
"Is it because of his messenger?" Harley furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Elemental spirits are very strong for these Void Cores, but don't forget that this is the Life and Death Arena, which is isolated by a barrier. Elemental spirits cannot be summoned here."
"There's no reason." Celeste smiled and glanced at the Law Enforcement Association. "It's just my intuition that this person will not die so easily."
When she said this, Harley thoughtfully looked at the Law Enforcement Association. He saw that the dozen or so Machines and insects, who had come to watch the Life and Death Arena for the first time, did not seem worried at all. Even though their cold and indifferent expressions seemed to be the standard of the Machines and insects, after all, they had specially come for Wang Zhong. Their calmness inevitably made people feel that there was something fishy going on.
While the two of them were talking, Balor could not wait any longer. The Demonic Heaven Transformation Blood Technique had just activated his blood and energy to a peak. Then, his figure flashed, and he simply 'disappeared' from his original spot!
Pavaro and Gorst's pupils shrank slightly. Balor had not disappeared, but he had activated at an extremely fast speed. The transition between slow and fast made it extremely difficult for one's vision to adapt. This fellow's explosive power was even more shocking in actual combat. It looked like he had not gone all out when he passed through the lightning array previously.
Boom!
From the moment he activated to the moment he came into contact, only an instant had passed. Many Combat Cultivation Hall pupils had not even seen clearly when a massive sound exploded in the arena. The terrifyingly heavy fist power and the explosive force simply sent Wang Zhong flying into the air. An air halo ripple spread in the air.
It was over. It was too easy. Both parties were not on the same level at all.
Many spectators could not help but have this thought. There was too much of a difference in their levels of power. If they were to face each other head-on, it was almost impossible for the Foundational Stage to survive.
However, before these people could finish thinking this, they heard two clattering sounds!
Wang Zhong only flew back seven or eight steps before he landed. His legs were firmly rooted to the ground, as if they were rooted to the ground. In front of him, Balor had caught up with him like a gust of wind and was prepared to deal another blow. However, he did not expect Wang Zhong to be able to quickly stop as he retreated. He was only slightly dumbfounded. A fist grew large in front of him and coordinated with his steps as he charged forward. It was as if he had taken the initiative to face the fist.
There was a hint of excitement on Wang Zhong's face. Balor's fist was very heavy, and it was so fast that it had exceeded his expectations. However, the more this was the case, the more he could test his true limits.
At that moment, his mental state was very good, as if the attack just now had not caused him any harm. Layers of hidden power accumulated in this fist, and his divine cells were instantly activated.
3rd Drive!
Boom!
There was an error in his judgment. Balor, who was charging forward, felt his vision turn black, and his rhythm was disrupted. His attack suddenly stopped, and his entire body was instantly struck in the face by the fist. He fell backwards and flew back 17 to 18 meters like a cannonball. Then, he fell head first to the ground.
The entire arena was silent, and their eyeballs almost popped out. Was this an act?
What the hell?
How could Wang Zhong, who only had a Spiritual Energy Value of 150,000, resist the all-out attack of Balor, who had a Spiritual Energy Value of 350,000? It was possible that he had used techniques to dodge the attack. However, he had clearly been hit head-on, but he was fine and could even immediately counterattack? What the hell was this? Could it be that he had some hidden high-leveled defensive artifact on his body?
Before everyone could understand the trick behind this, in just half a second, Balor, who had fallen backwards, had flipped over and leaped up from the ground. The fury in his heart could simply ignite the entire Heavenly Gates.
Wang Zhong was actually able to resist the all-out attack of his incarnation. Furthermore, he was not injured at all and immediately counterattacked!
This was too unexpected. Wang Zhong's Combat Power was not just 150,000. His use of techniques allowed him to attack with a Spiritual Energy Value of 200,000 or even 300,000. This had been proven many times in Combat Cultivation Hall classes, and it was also the key reason why he was able to make a name for himself in the Combat Cultivation Hall. However, this was only in terms of offense. Techniques could increase one's offense, but how could it increase one's defense?
Just now, Balor had clearly sensed that all his power had been absorbed by Wang Zhong's body, and he did not have any defensive artifacts. Regardless of what techniques Wang Zhong had that allowed him to move a thousand kilograms with little effort, this kind of attack was not something a Foundational Stage could withstand. However, Wang Zhong had faced it head-on and was not injured at all. Balor had made a mistake in his judgment and was caught off guard when he faced Wang Zhong's counterattack. Thus, he was easily sent flying!
However, he was not injured. Wang Zhong's attack had indeed reached the standard of 150,000 Spiritual Energy Value, but there was a heavy aftereffect. However, the pushing force was large and the damage was small. After all, his basic Spiritual Energy Value was too low. This kind of attack could not break through his defense at all. Wang Zhong had relied on the fact that Balor was caught off guard to send him flying.
However, a Foundational Stage had sent him flying! This was the complete opposite of the scene that he had imagined of instantly killing Wang Zhong.
There was complete silence outside the Life and Death Arena, but Balor was simply about to explode with rage.
Humiliation! Humiliation! Extraordinary humiliation!
White smoke seemed to be rising from Balor's head. He simply did not dare to imagine what kind of joke those fellows who had been mocking him were watching from outside the arena. He did not dare to think about it, nor did he want to see it. The moment he flipped over from the ground and leaped up, his furious eyes were filled with blood.
"Die!" Balor roared furiously.
Bang!
Two balls of white smoke suddenly rose from the ground where his feet landed. His entire body rapidly shot forward, as if he had teleported just now. He disappeared in the blink of an eye! Wang Zhong would definitely not think of using the same strategy a second time. He would definitely not have the slightest bit of carelessness or misjudgment!
However, just as he rapidly charged forward, Wang Zhong also moved. The level of one's Spiritual Energy Value directly determined the four dimensions of attack, defense, speed, and agility. In terms of speed, Wang Zhong was far inferior to Balor. Not to mention disappearing as if he had teleported, his movements were pitifully slow. Even the person with the slowest reaction time could clearly see his every move!
However, had they really seen him clearly?
Although Wang Zhong's movements seemed slow, what was rather strange was that his movement speed was not slow at all.
Shadow Dance!
Everything had its opposite side. Furthermore, Wang Zhong's slowness was just a form of visual deception. The ground under his feet seemed to have become shorter. His strange movements were both slow and fast. There was a distance of over 100 meters between them, and they moved at the same time. One was fast, while the other was slow. However, they instantly met in the middle.
Boom!!
There was a massive explosion. The terrifying energy from the collision caused the center of the Life and Death Arena to be covered by a wave of air. Even the energy wall that enveloped the arena trembled slightly.
A head-on clash!
The difference in their Spiritual Energy Value was more than double, but Wang Zhong had chosen to fight head-on!
Balor felt that the power of his opponent's fist was clearly very weak and was one or two times weaker than his own. However, the continuous aftershocks were like waves crashing towards him. Furthermore, the speed at which they connected was extremely fast, as if there was no gap between them. Just four or five waves were enough to completely dissolve his power. In a head-on clash, Wang Zhong was not at a disadvantage and did not lose in terms of toughness. Furthermore, his attacks were endless and even wanted to suppress him head-on.
He was unable to kill his opponent in an instant. No matter how unwilling or displeased he was, it had become a fact that he could not end this battle quickly. He had already embarrassed himself. His continuous attacks were blocked, but Balor became much calmer. He retracted his wrist and took the initiative to attack. He was originally fast, but he suddenly slowed down and started to attack and defend at the same time.
Even though he still attacked more than he defended, after all, he had the absolute advantage in terms of speed and power, and he controlled the initiative in the arena. However, this slight change caused Wang Zhong to sigh silently. He wanted to create a strong psychological contrast at the start and lure his opponent to lose his calm. However, just as he laid the trap, Balor had calmed down. This fellow who usually seemed impulsive and reckless had rather strong combat instincts in actual combat.
They were going to fight a tough battle.
Wang Zhong's adaptability was obviously stronger. When his plan failed, he only adjusted for half a second in his heart and gave up on attacking. Instead, he immediately used his Shadow Dance. Even though he seemed slow, his entire body drifted erratically in the arena like a ghost, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Defense and counterattacks were Wang Zhong's strong suit. However, Balor's close-combat standards were obviously much higher than the Void Cores he had faced in the Combat Cultivation Hall. Even though his attacks were fierce, he did not reveal any obvious flaws. Even if there were some fleeting opportunities, they were quickly covered up by his extremely fast speed, and Wang Zhong was unable to catch them.
The combat style of the two of them suddenly changed. From the violent attack at the start to a battle of attrition, it only took the blink of an eye. One of them moved like a ghost, while the other teleported. In that instant, it was as if there were several Wang Zhongs and several Balors in the arena at the same time. Bang bang bang bang! The sounds of collisions did not stop, but most of them were harmless parries. As their figures intertwined, it was hard to tell who would win.
The two of them entered a stalemate. Only then did the astonished crowd gradually recover from their shock. They had long heard that a freak Foundational Stage had appeared in the Combat Cultivation Hall and that a Foundational Stage had the ability to fight against a Void Core head-on. However, many people who had not personally witnessed this did not believe it. They knew that some Foundational Stages in the lower worlds had very powerful combat techniques, but in terms of a head-on battle, a Foundational Stage was a Foundational Stage, and a Void Core was a Void Core. There was no element of opportunism.
If one had to say that one was more powerful than two, who would believe it? But now, everyone believed it. He only had a Spiritual Energy Value of 150,000, which was more than double his opponent's, but he was not at a disadvantage when facing his opponent head-on in terms of power. If they had not personally witnessed this, no matter how imaginative they were, they would not have believed this reality.
"The use of spiritual power is the key. These civilizations in the lower worlds have indeed displayed the power of the weak to the extreme."
"It seems that we have underestimated this Earthling … As long as these civilizations in the lower worlds do not lose in terms of basic power, they are almost invincible. Look at his techniques. They are too erratic, but they are enough to make up for the difference in speed."
